It's true.  You can make $100 in JFK Gift Certificates which can be used at the JFK Store or for registering to JFK programs.  The JFK Store has a lot of merchandise for sale, and not just soccer stuff.  The JFK Store is located in the JFK Club House.  You also get a free polo shirt, a free whistle, a free air pump, a free coaches' guide to soccer and all the free coaching clinics you want.  No experience required.  JFK will teach you.  This summer, if you coach a team, you will receive all of the above.  It's a great deal worth over $200 in total.  All you have to do is be committed to your team (and Club) for about an hour twice a week (yes you can still take a vacation), attend at least 2 mandatory coaching clinics on becoming a coach and how to run practices and games, do some administration work for your team (phone/email your players, fill out game sheets, complete simple player evaluation report, etc).  Assistant coaches can help with any of the duties.  Coaching recreational soccer is easy and fun.  Want to coach?  Let us know (for U4 to U18 teams, not U3).  Coaches are supervised by JFK's Technical Staff.  The $100 GC is given after the season to the head coach of the team after a rebate form is filled out and handed in.  It can't be deducted from your current fee.  JFK is unique in offering this special coaching rebate reward to attract coaches & insure these volunteers are performing up to par.  After all, we want to make sure everybody's experience at JFK is a good one. 

To qualify for the $100 (GC), you must:
- Complete 3 hours of coaching clinics through JFK for this season.
- Properly complete game sheets.
- Assist with fund raising handouts and collections and return to JFK.
- Complete player evaluation sheet for your team.
- Abide by the Code of Conduct.
- Abide by the Rules as laid out by JFK.
- Attend mandatory meeting(s) as required.
- Complete the season from start to finish.
- Be a member in good standing.

To receive your $100 GC, you will need to fill out a form from JFK stating you have meet all the necessary requirement and hand back the form to JFK by September 30 of the current year you coached in. 

Want to coach?  Just check off "I want to Coach" on your registration form (for U4 to U18 teams, not U3).  Coach clinics are starting in April.  You can even take an additional free coach clinic to become a JFK Certified House League Coach.  There's more, you can also attend a free Referee's Clinic if you want to step up your knowledge of soccer rules.
